Hmm, that's good to know. So takeaway here is listing as a public server may not be such a good idea. Although, I could see doing it using if autokey so a client would fetch the key and get authenticated time. It's a hoop to jump through for sure but I'm guessing the abusive clients of which you speak wouldn't do this. I wonder why the abused stratum 1 servers don't do something like that.
